Palm Beach County has a variety of good businesses for sale. The latest example is a visa qualified pet sitting business recently sold to an immigrant from the UK. The present owner has been in the business several years and it is well-established in the tri-county area. And though the business is profitable, the owner was selling because she wanted to focus on a different type of business in the same industry.

The buyer is in his 20s and is a businessman from the United Kingdom. He wanted to immigrate to the United States and settle in South Florida. The best way for him to do so was to find a visa qualified business he could invest in. Of the many businesses for sale in Palm Beach County, this pet sitting business fit the bill quite well.

In order for a business to be qualified for an immigrant visa, it must have clean books and records that show a solid profit. It must also have either 1099 or W-2 employees. The Palm Beach County pet sitting business that was for sale met these qualifications. The business makes a solid annual profit in the high five figures that will allow the new owner to recoup his low six figure investment in less than two years.

In addition, this pet sitting business in Palm Beach County is very easy to run. All the owner has to do is manage the moving parts. The current owner already has a full slate of 1099 contract workers that perform the services throughout the area. The current owner is also providing 30 days of training and an additional 6 months of phone/email support. This should be more than sufficient to ensure that the incoming owner will have a smooth transition into his new South Florida business.

For foreign business people that dream of immigrating to the U.S., there are few places more favorable to settle than South Florida. Businesses for sale in this area give entrepreneurs a built-in market that has the financial means to sustain a profitable entity for the long term. Florida is also home to one of the most beautiful climates in the world, and as an added bonus, the state and local governments here are business-friendly.
